The UEFA Nations League is back in action with another set of fixtures this week as Hungary take on Turkey in a crucial group-stage match on Wednesday. Both teams are in with a chance of promotion to League A of the competition and will have to be at their best this week.
Turkey are currently level on points with Russia at the top of the group and are in contention for the top spot in the coming weeks. The away side edged Russia to a stunning 3-2 victory over the weekend and can potentially pull off a coup with a victory in this fixture.
Hungary are currently only two points behind Turkey in the standings and will need to put their opponents to the sword to put a positive spin on their rather inconsistent campaign. The Magyars were held to a 1-1 draw by Serbia in their previous game and will need all three points from this game.
Hungary vs Turkey Head-to-Head
Hungary have a good historical record against Turkey and have won nine games out of a total of 15 matches between the two sides. Turkey have managed only four victories against Hungary and will need to put in an improved performance in this fixture.
The previous meeting between these two sides resulted in a stunning 1-0 victory for Hungary. Dominik Szoboszlai scored the winning goal on the day and will be his side's chief threat going into this game.

Hungary vs Turkey Prediction
Hungary have shown tremendous improvement over the past few months and with the talented Dominik Szoboszlai leading from the front, the Magyars may well pull off another positive result this week.
Turkey will take plenty of heart from their victory against Russia over the weekend but will need to cover their bases in the absence of Caglar Soyuncu. Hungary have a well-rounded side and can potentially take something away from this game.
Prediction: Hungary 2-2 Turkey
